Italeri Lutzow (1/720) 507

1/720 Lutzow Italeri 507On April 1st, 1933 the Germans came out with a new class of ships, the so-called Pocket Battle Ships which belonged to the same class as the Deutschland, the Graf Spee and the Admiral Scheer. Later on the Deutschland had to undergo a few changes and was renamed Ltzow. This change of name was made for the simple reason that Hitler could not bear the thought that a ship by the name of Deutschland might go down. Since the end of 1939 this ship was known as Ltzow. Judging the missions of these ships it has to be considered that they were only battlecruisers with the armament of battleships.Technical data: Displacement: 11700 t Length: 186 m Capacity: 54000 hp Crew: max. 1150 men Max. speed: 26 knots Range: 16210 km at 20 knots.
